To the Honorable James Withycombe, Governor, and the Thirtieth Legis- 
lative Assembly of the State of Oregon. 


‘Gentlemen: The report of the Consolidation Commission was sub- 
mitted late in the fall of 1918. It was therein promised that some further 
investigations would be made and in keeping with our final findings a 
bill would be prepared and submitted for your consideration. This has 
been done through an executive committee duly appointed at the last 
regular meeting of the commission. 

Through lack of funds this has necessitated much work by the individ- 
ual members of this executive committee and has carried us well up into 
the work of the session before being able to gather all the data necessary 
to enable us to prepare a bill in keeping with the general recommendations 
of our commission and also to embody therein such consolidations as 
would seem most practical and which do not encounter constitutional 
obstacles. In the preparation of this bill we are covering the following 
departments: Taxation and revenue, education, labor, health, agricul- 
ture, trade and commerce, public welfare and public works and domain. 
As will be observed, we are leaving out of consideration entirely the 
general administration and finance and are not suggesting interference 
with the principal elective officers. — 

We submit that there is a strong feeling throughout the State favor- 
able to some well defined system of consolidation or reorganization of 
our state departments and from the experience of many cities and not 
a few states throughout the United States, coordination of departments 
along the lines here suggested have proved most satisfactory and has 
been the means of effecting quite large savings to the taxpayers. How- 
ever, the greater efficiency to come to our State under this reorganization 
would in our judgment be of even greater benefit than the saving and 
expense. With this thorough reofganization of our state departments 
there would always be a place in which to throw any new bureau it 
might be found in the future necessary to establish or a place to do such 
new work and thus save the creation of any new bureau or department. 

Might we not suggest for your consideration that since the session is 
quite well advanced and perhaps the members would not feel that they 
would have ample time to carefully consider the bill which we here 
recommend, that the same might be submitted to a vote of the people 
at the next regular or special election? 

We beg to call your special attention to the fact that the Legislature 
of the State of Idaho now in session has just passed a similar Dill 
reorganizing their state government even in a more complete way than 
is hereby suggested. 

As to the appointment of the heads of those departments other than 
those now made elective by statute, we ask your careful consideration to 
the fact that in practically all other states that have tried out this and 
other plans, much better results are obtained by placing the responsibility 
upon the governor by placing the appointing power in him and we are 
convinced after careful consideration that it is only a question of time 
when all the better organized and best managed state governments will 
rely upon this method of placing the responsibility upon the executive 
head. It must be remembered that this does not mean additional appoint- 


4 FINAL REPORT OF CONSOLIDATION COMMISSION 


ive power in the hands of the governor. It is quite a reduction in his 
power of appointments, but it does mean that he has the appointment of 
the heads of these departments and thereby the department is made 
responsible to him and he is likewise responsible to the people of the 
state. 

We wish to. call your special attention to the general benefit which 
must accrue to our state through the consideration of state affairs by 
the cabinet provided by this bill consisting of the governor, secretary of 
state, state treasurer, attorney-general and the commissioners of the 
eight departments whereby proper consideration of all important matters 
could and would be duly considered and proper cooperation of all 
departments could thereby be had. 


In addition to the bill which follows, we wish to renew our recom- 
mendation for the adoption of the constitutional amendment providing 
for the election of a lieutenant governor; also that a state auditor be 
provided and also that a proper system of civil service be installed. 


In conclusion we wish to thank our state officials and citizens gen- 
erally for their kind cooperation, and particularly does the chairman wish — 
to thank Mr. Carkin, one of our members, for his devotion and work 
in the preparation of the bill here submitted; also the attorney-general 
and his assistants for their help in the preparation of said bill and to 
express the hope that our work may be of assistance to you in this very 
difficult problem of consolidation of boards and commissions. 


In submitting this bill and these recommendations, we do so feeling 
that we have discharged our duty under the resolution providing for our 
appointment and we leave the further consideration of the question 
entirely with you and trust that out of it all may come some satisfactory 
consolidation legislation. 


Respectfully submitted, 
A. J. JOHNSON, Chairman 
HERMAN VON BORSTHL, Secretary 
JOHN H. CARKIN, Attorney 
Executive committee of the Consolidation Commission
